scampered over the fields and enjoyed

But one day stray match got ignited,

Counterfeit Jewels
Popular Science MonthIy

Artificial precious stones have become
an important article of trade. The pro-
ducts of some of the shops would almost
deceive an expert, but the test of hard
ness is still infallible. The beautiful
French PASTE" from which imitation
diamonds are made, is kind of glass
a mixture of oxide of lead. The more of
the latter the brighter the stone, bat also
the softer, and this is a serious defect.
The imitation stones are now so perfect
ly made, and are $50 satisfactory to
those who are not very particular, that
their Influence begins to be felt in the
market for real stones. By careful Sc
lection of the ingredients, and skill and
manipulation, .he luster, color, fire, and
water of the choicest stones are to the
eyes of the layman fully reproduced.
There are few delicacies of color that
cannot be perfectly given, for they de-
pend of some undiscoverable peculiari-
ties of molecular arrangement, and not
on chemical composition; but the per-
sons who buy the stones know nothing of
that. Yet Sidot, French chemist, has
nearly reproduced these peculiarities in
GLIDING the dichroism of the sapphire,
with composition of which the base is
phosphate of lime. Two other French
chemists, Frenzy and Fell, have produced
rubies and sapphires having the same
composition with the genuine stones and
nearly equal hardness.

see how they were to get the money, and
consulted a lawyer who happened to be

that getting lawyer to act for one is an

know exactly what business the lawyer

A GIRL OF HONOLULU.
JOAQUIN MILLER.

How beautiful she wasl How wildl
Pure as water plant. this child,
This one wild child Of nature here
Grown tall in shadows. Aud how near
To God, where no man stood between
Her eve and scenes no man hath seen.
Stop still, my friend, and do not stir,
Shut close your page and think of her.
The birds sing sweeter for her face:
Her lifted eyes were like grace;
The rippled rivers of her hair
That ran in wondrOuS waves somehow
Flowed down divided by her brow,
And mantled her within its care.
A perfume and an incense lay
Before her, as an incense sweet
Before biithe mowers Of sweet hay
la early morn. Her certain feet
Embarked on no uncertain way.
Come think how perfect before men;
How sweet as sweet magnolia bloom.
Embalmed in dews OF morning when
New sunlight leaps from midnight gloom,
Enthrailed to kiss and frat to kiss,
Yea, she was tempting like to this!
She was as the Madonna to
The tawny, dreamful, faithful few
Who touched her hand and knew her soul;
She drew them, drew them as the pole
Points all things to itself. She drew
Souls upward as the moon of spring,
High wheeling, vast, and shining full,
Half clad in clouds aad white as wool,
Draws all the strong seas following.

The Great German Army
Baltimore American.

Such a sight never saw before nor am
likely to see again during my life. There
were 10000 men-picked men at that
and they did, indeed, look formidable
upon their spirited horses. Each lance
had long, steel point and streamer,
and in their perfect lines, as far as the
eye could reach, could one see this sea of
glistening points. 1t was a beautiful
day, and as the sun shone out on the
glittering arms and gaudy uniforms it
was a scene to be remembered. At
least twelve thousand men were on
horses, each one looking like racer.
How the sun shone upon the cuirass, sa-
Der and spear, and with what roar they
did come by! AS I looked up the long
stretch and saw this mighty sea of spear
points, aud all coming down upon me, I
for the first time realized what truly
awful thing war was The whole force
filed past at trot. Next came regiment
after regiment soldiers, each about two
thousand strong. Massed in dence
solid squares and with glittering bayo-
nets, they looked like living forests of
steel. Such marching I never saw. They
came by with from sixty to one hundred
men in single line, and every one of them
in perfect line and step, the very embodi
ment of all that was powerful. Last of
all came battery after battery, all at a
trot, and rumbling over the ground like
distant thunder. OF all arms, infantry,
cavalry, and artillery, the cavalry was es-
pecially fine. They were of four distinct
sorts. First in the procession came the
cuirassiers in white uniforms, brass
breast plate and helmets. Of these there
were about 1000, mounted on beautiful
horses, and in truth they looked like
knights of old. Then came the hussars,
in colored jackets Of red and brown. Of
these there were about 1000. All mount
ed on beautiful horses came the dragons,
about the same number; and last, and
most important of all, came the uhlans,
or lancers, the most serviceable part of
the German army. think any French
man who saw this wonderful sight might
we'll have been disheartened.

He Got Evea With the Nate
st, Joseph's Gazette.

An old citizen, gentleman of high
social and official standing in st. Joseph,
tells story of the famous Missouri Gov.
ernor, Bob Stewart, which, true to Sac
letter, proves that truth is stranger than
fiction:
IT was coming up the Missouri River
when / was boy" said the Ex-Governor,
"and was working my way up on g
steamboat. At point where We had to
wood up didn't carry as big a load sas
some of the roustabouts, nor move with
that agility that the others did, for I was
not strong, and had been tenderly raised
The mate became enraged at my slow
movements on the gangplank, and he
gave me kick and sent me ashore, and
confscated my buffalo robe as payment
for my passage to that point. / never
saw that mate again until had been in
augurated as Governor Of this great COM
monwealth Of Missouri.
"One day wandering through the wards
and districts of the Penitentiary I saw
that mate, working at a forge. He had
been sent there for killing in a passion,
man under his command. / knew him
instantly, and directed the Warden to
send the man to the Gubernatorial Man
sion In the garb of gentleman. When
the man arrived I took him into nay pri-
yate Office and asked him if he recog-
nized me. He replied that he did. Said
I, do you remember one time at such and
such a place, of kicking boy and send
ing him ashore, who had been working in
your gang?'
'The man said, No, don't remember
it, but it is very likely that did it,
WE'LL says I. I am that boy, and
here is your pardon. 1 always thought I
would get even with you
"The tears came to the old mans eyes,
and he said, well, Governor, to be a
mate in those days man had to be
dog
You played well your part I said.
Now leave here, and don't let me see you
again.
"As he made his exit gave him an
able-bodied kick, and little Bob Stewart
had got even with the big steamboat
mate.
Sounds like romance, don't 1t? Yes.
But every word is true, need barely say,
sir.'
